The yarn is a lovely 4ply Polwarth Corriedale blend with Silk. This is a Non-Superwash yarn meaning that none of the protective cells surrounding the fibre’s core has been stripped away, this allows the fibres to rub against each other and attach ever so slightly, care is therefore required when laundering your finished item. This yarn does not contain nylon and has been hand-dyed using natural dye extracts to produce vibrant colours. The variegated colourways are all hand-painted and each skein will vary slightly, it is recommended to alternate skeins.

Fibre content: 85% Polwarth Corriedale blend, 15% Mulberry Silk

Skein weight: 100g

Skein length: approximately 400m

Care should be taken when laundering your garment, use cool/warm water with a PH neutral wash. Many natural dyes are sensitive to varying PH levels and minerals and therefore using a product that is more acidic or alkaline could cause the original colour to shift. It is recommended to not use fabric conditioner with your yarn as it can occasionally cause the colour to bleed during laundering. Dry garments flat and out of direct sunlight to prevent undue fading.

It is recommended to wash dark colours separately and if using dark and light colours together, it is advised to test a sample prior to use. Yarns are carefully rinsed to remove dyes, however, on occasion, a small amount of excess dye could rinse out in the first wash.
